The fight against the coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic, which started in Wuhan, China, and now affects more than 200 countries, is being fought worldwide. While this epidemic caused the death of thousands of citizens in some countries, the virus could be brought under control without spreading over a wide area thanks to the precautionary measures taken in some countries.
One of the countries that fight well against Covid-19 is Greece. Since, Citizens' adaptation and trust in the government's measures, the point that Greece reached today, is one of the countries where the cases and the people who lost their lives due to COVID-19 are few.
Due to the sensitivity of citizens in the country to the measures and the decrease in the cases day by day, the government
is preparing to make new decisions about the measures.

Citizens will again use the method of sending SMS to go out by this date.
If the epidemic begins to spread again, restrictions will continue in particular regions.
Removal of restrictions will be attempted for 7 to 14 days and it will be determined whether the virus has spread.
Which of the shops will open and which will remain closed?
What other changes are expected to happen?
